Business Education

As a business that makes, imports or distributes consumer products, you have a variety of CPSIA and other CPSC regulations to follow. The steps below will help guide you through the process of complying with federal government safety regulations.

This handbook has been developed to assist manufacturers, importers, retailers and others in the regulated community (firms) in understanding their responsibilities and what steps they should take when either the CPSC staff informs them, or they become aware of, a violation of CPSC statutes and regulations.

This handbook helps you understand your obligations and responsibilities for conducting recalls under the Consumer Product Safety Act. It applies to you if you manufacture, import, distribute, or retail consumer products. The handbook includes information on CPSC’s Fast Track program.
